On July 24, 2025, an Antonov An‑24 turboprop operated by Angara Airlines, built in 1976, crashed near Tynda in Russia’s Amur Oblast during a second landing attempt in poor weather. The aircraft, en route from Blagoveshchensk, disappeared from radar before impact. All onboard—approximately 43 passengers (including five children) and six crew—are believed to have perished. Rescue teams found burning wreckage roughly 15 km from the airport amid dense forest. Authorities have launched a criminal probe, citing possible pilot error and outdated aircraft as contributing factors. President Putin has been informed and search-and-recovery continues.
